GIN pilots got off to the best possible start this week at the World Cup in Portugal on their Boomerang 10’s. Yoann Chavanne won the first task and Idris Birch won the second task—just 23 seconds ahead of fellow GIN factory test pilot Moonseob Lim. After 4 tasks, the GIN team have slipped slightly to 2nd place, with several GIN pilots battling hard in the top 20 overall. The conditions have been excellent with light winds and classic convergence lines. There’s sure to be some exciting racing to come!

Congratulations to Shahin Fallah of Iran for winning the Ali Dagi Open on his Boomerang 10. GIN Turkish importer Semih Sayir was 2nd. Shahin flew consistently well as pilots battled with the less-than-ideal weather. Well done, Shahin!

"Thanks to the magic of RASP forecasts and the interpretations of all my expert friends, I've had an amazing week of 5 star-rated flying days. After a pretty long drive from Annecy towards Glencoe, Scotland it started on the slopes of the White Corries for a 70+ kms triangle around Glen Etive and the loch.
